Warkworth will celebrate its rural heritage when it hosts the annual A&P Lifestyle Show, at the Warkworth Showgrounds on State Highway 1, on Saturday March 21.
Traditional A&P Show favourites will be running across the grounds including woodchopping with the Puhoi Axemen’s Club, sheep shearing, cattle, miniature horses, Donkey & Mule Society displays, mounted games and the Cowboy Challenge.
There will also be a display by the Dargaville Medieval Combat Club, a line-up of vintage cars, and the opportunity to interact with Fire and Emergency NZ personnel, Neighbourhood Watch and NZ Police.
Trade and market stalls focused on lifestyle and rural living will be open from 9am.
The indoor section will feature baked goods, field and garden produce, floral art, needlework, hand knitting and more.
Plus, there’s a plethora of Kids’ Corner competitions including decorated cupcakes, novelty fruit and vegetable creations, jewellery, beadwork and more.
Organisers say the Fun Zone will be a major drawcard for younger visitors, with free rides on the tea cups, merry-go-round and giant slide to hands-on activities such as cow milking and calf feeding. There will be a variety of food vendors to suit all tastes and sites are already booked-up reflecting the ongoing popularity of the event.
The show runs throughout the day with tickets available at the gate. Entry is $15 for adults and $5 for children, with a family pass for two adults and up to four children available for $40.
